Reference information:
Comms traffic to AU is always an issue despite the protocol. Remember we are a
huge island with one what out and one way in. With huge distance we are 3
seconds in delay from UK/Europe/US - that plays havoc with most all protocols
which have the NO ACK/Retry extended by 3 seconds. SNA traffic had the greatest
challenge and we use a variant of SNA called SNA/T - Transparent SNA - where
there is an ACK/NO ACK packet delayed by 3 seconds on traffic that exits/enters
the country but remain unretarded within the country and is encapsulated with
one single packet/data stream.
I dont know how we carry TCP traffic, however it is most definitely converted
to either X.25 or SNA for carriage ex/in Australia.
People spend their life just on comms issues - however its very boring and VTAM
is painful.
It is not unusual for us to have issues from time to time.
It is also interesting that traffic between me and the download server required
an exemption when all other continuous download traffic does not requiring one
- There is probably some reason why your traffic required exemptions only but
the last thing I want to do is put a data scope on my line end and examine the
traffic - The exemption works and thats the end for me ;-)
